: Christmas trees lights are wired in series, daisy chaining grounds results in a parallel connection. I if a wire breaks all the buttons *after* the break will stop working, all the buttons before the break will work fine. So to find the break you find the last key that works, and then the break is after that key... not difficult at all.
I guess I never thought about it enough, but you are correct. I guess it's nothing like Christmas lights. :)
